Is color 2d?

Ask an Expert Topic Forum: Grades 9-12: Physical Science

Is color 2d? Is color 2d? So, I ask a question to my friends all the time and I was wondering if my answer to my own question works. My question is: "What is your favorite undiscovered color?" Now, when I make silly questions like that I always make sure that I have an answer so, I made up a color, Magurmple.

Electomagent Battery Size and Voltage

Ask an Expert Topic Forum: Grades K-5: Physical Science

Electomagent Battery Size and Voltage Electomagent Battery Size and Voltage Hello. We are doing a science project to test the strength of an electomagent. When we switch from a 6V lantern batter to a 9V regular battery, the electromagent does not work anymore. We think this has to do with the size of the battery since the 6V is much larger, but the 9V has more voltage. Can anyone explain how this works? Re: Electomagent Battery Size and Voltage Hello! What a fun project. When you switched… Read more
